In this production, video projections became a key dramaturgical element, reflecting teenage self-expression on social media. The screens displayed various video fragments inspired by the aesthetics of TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube – from memes to “expectations vs. reality” clips.

The visual content not only conveyed the authentic virtual world of contemporary teenagers but also functioned as an extension of the stage itself. The creation process involved close collaboration with the director, dramaturg, and actors. Each character was given their own set of “social media” videos, based on real internet genres such as “Drumming or Cumming” games, “my dad… also my dad” memes, and others. In this way, the projections became an organic part of the performance’s structure, deepening its themes – the complexity of adolescence, the clash with the adult world, and the search for an authentic voice in a world oversaturated with information and screens.
